Album Art does not download while purchasing songs from iTunes

Hi !
Of late, music I have purchased from iTunes does not seem to download the album art ie: the music downloads fine, but there is no album art with it, despite the fact that on the iTunes site it DOES have album art when advertised.
Has anyone else had this situation, if so, is there a fix ?
Note this is happening only recently.
Thanks !

Thanks, Mimico Kid! Your suggestion was extremely easy and worked like a charm!
I basically went to Amazon.com like you suggested, searched for all of my cd's in the Amazon music section. Once each cd was listed, I enlarged the album cover to its largest size and then right-clicked on the largest image and then "saved as" the name of the cd in a separate, Album Art folder that I created in the "My Pictures" folder on my c drive. Then I opened iTunes and the Album covers folder that I created and dragged the jpeg of the album cover into the section of iTunes on the lower left side where users are prompted to drag album art.
Here's a hint to significantly quicken the transfer of album art from your separately created "Album Art" folder on your hard (c:) drive to iTunes: select all of the songs of a particular cd listed in your iTunes library before you drag the album art over from your separately created "Album Art" folder. That way, when you do drag the album art over, it will be applied to all of the selected songs - this saves lots of time if you have multiple tracks from CDs in your iTunes library.

Album Art does not appear unless I buy from iTunes

I imported hundreds of cd's into my iTunes library and I noticed that the album art was not appearing. The only album art that appears on my color iPod is from the songs that I purchase from iTunes. Can anyone tell me if I can get the album art from my CDs to appear in my iTunes library and on my iPod? Thanks for any suggestions.

Itunes does not download all purchased songs from the Itunes Store

A few weeks ago, I purchased the latest CD of Lionel Richie from the Itunes Store, but only 4 songs were downloaded. Now every time I try to download the rest CD by either checking for purchases in the Itunes menu or trying to buy the CD again, it tells me the Itunes Store is temporarily unavailable...
Anyone knows how to solve this??

I had a similar problem with a Jimmy Buffett album,I sent the iTunes store an e-mail described the problem including the album title and receipt number and within 24 hours they responded and had done a "reset" and problem solved.
Give it a try

my ipod nano4th gen will not download the purchased songs in itunes v11. Just upgraded to mac 10.6.8-won't synch new songs since this upgrade. The ipod is seen in the itunes as the devise, and the nano screens says synching when plugged into the macmini usb port, but the itunes window does not say it is synching like it has before so whats the culprit? Techno virgin in distress!
PS - I added an iphone5 which is whay these upgrades happened so this synching to the ipod error is since the iphone began synching.

I just learn in some post that the most common lapses in syncing is not checking if "sync music" in music section of the ipod is ticked. So double check if it is. Cheers!

How can I re-download previously purchased songs from itunes?

You only get one download. It is your responsibility to backup your purchases.
UNLESS, you are in the U.S, then you can use the Beta version of icloud. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick links

My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes

My computer's hard drive crashed and now that its fixed (my computer) I want to download previously purchased songs from Itunes. When I'm signed into Itunes and attempt to download from the cloud a text box pops up saying "I need to authorize the computer before I can download previous purchases". I'm using the same computer that I purchased all previous songs. So how do I authorize my computer?

On your Computer...
Open iTunes...
If you're using iTunes 11 click on the box icon in the top-left corner to see the " Show Menu Bar "
and from the Menu Bar select Store...
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
(In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.

You would have to copy the music to a computer that is supported and sync it from there.

How do I re-download previously purchased songs from Itunes?

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Album art does not add to ripped songs.

Hello. Earlier, I ripped a Classical CD using iTunes, of course, to be added to my library (MP3 Encoder). I decided to download the album art from Google images and did some quick editing in Photoshop and saved it into a JPEG file format. I am sure that the image works because I tried it into other songs in my library and they worked.
However, when I was attaching it (all the items were already highlighted), iTunes rejects the picture and it does not show up on 'Get Info'. I decided to drag it and then this is what shows up:
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for such a quick reply. My itunes is up to date but my iphone is 4.2.1 and I am afraid to upgrade because it is jailbroken and unlocked running on tmobile. It was a very difficult jailbreak/unlock but i persevered. I think the phone is a frankenstein. modem firmware is 6.15.0 and i had to root the phone to jailbreak it because the wifi doesn't work (antenna may be broken). With all this info do you think i should upgrade?

How to download a purchased song from iTunes again?

I had a song in my iTunes library the file of which was damaged for unknown reason. So I deleted it and the file as well. I though I could download it again from iTunes. But the song is marked as "purchased" in the iTunes store and I don't see how I can download it again. Please advise. Thx.

This time I have another problem. I think I deleted the file in the cloud as well when I tried to remove the song from my library. Now the title is not seen even in iTunes in the Cloud. What can I do? Just one track in an album.

More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

My album art does not make it onto my iPhone 4S when I drag music over from my iMax in iTunes.

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest iMac. I manually manage my content on my iPhone - I don't have anything automatically sync on it. But when I drag music over to my iPhone the album art does not travel with it. I have most of my audio in AIFF format in iTunes - other than stuff I buy digitally. I have found that once the audio is over on my phone, I then have to copy the artwork over not once but TWICE before it will update on the phone and show up. It does work though and that is fine.
My problem now is I purchase digital 'compilations' where each track has a different album cover because they come from different albums. I just dragged over 250+ tracks and I'm not going to go in 1 by 1 and copy the album covers over twice for each track.
My phone used to update properly but in the last few months it stopped doing it properly so I'm wondering if there is something that needs to be reset on it to get it to work properly again.
I have all the files on my iPhone coverted to 128K for size issues and all my files in iTunes are at least 320K or higher so they all get down-converted when they are moved onto the iPhone. I assume the artwork is somehow getting 'lost' in this conversion process.
Thanks,
Rob

Cool - yeah I grabbed that script as well. Going to go through my library and run that one as well. Seems to only be able to handle X amount of tracks at a time so will have to do it step by step. I have about 21000 tracks in my library and it didn't like doing all at one time
Its fine if it compresses the images a bit - not a big deal. Its only on my phone so its fine. I'm probably a bit anal about things but I hate having tracks on my phone with no images - if there are images available.
Thanks again!

Album artwork does not download, album artwork does not download

i have windows 7 album artwork does not download even new stuff what could be happening?

It's possible your album artwork isn't there and cannot be obtained as this album no longer appears to be offered for purchase by itunes. Unless I'm overlooking it, when I go to the itunes store and enter "Santana", "Carlos Santana", or "Food For Thought", nothing comes up. I'm thinking if this is an album no longer for sale through itunes, then you won't be able to get that album artwork the way previously have. Unfortunately, I'm not saavy enough to know if it's possible to get the album artwork via another means. But maybe someone else reading this post is.
